Hi everyone, its now officially 7 days since Tiny Bookshop released, and finally, after tackling the most serious bugs, we found some time to take care of more UX and feedback.\n\n\n

\n
• Adjusted/Fixed Maryams recommendation quest at the caf not saving the progress consistently.\n
• Increased rain chance in spring slightly.\n
• Inspiring Klaus now counts anywhere, and not just at the supermarket.\n
• Adjusted Historic Tag. Changed it from Written about the past to meeting a need of immersing yourself in the past.\n
• Nerfed [spoiler]Professor Quest to make it less frustrating.[/spoiler]\n
• Made [spoiler]cases[/spoiler] visible and visually distinct to help you identify which one is currently active.\n
• Removed a dialogue gamepad deselection, that would lead to having to re-select dialogue. \n
• Made Play and Long mutually exclusive, as plays dont tend to be over 450 pages.\n
• Added a bail-out book box, in case you are out of money and out of books.\n
• Adjusted the [spoiler]gardening fundraiser[/spoiler] so it doesnt keep subtracting money after the quest is completed.\n
• Fixed snow at Park.\n
• Fixed [spoiler]Nightmare Fuel-Effect[/spoiler] never disappearing.\n
• Adjusted spacing of location genres in the journal to avoid overlaps.\n
• Improved the UX of colouring your bookshop.\n
• Made [spoiler]Spoiled Fish[/spoiler] only placeable in one slot at a time, to avoid accidental smells.\n
• Fixed wildlife-board being obstructed at the fish-market.\n
• Made the [spoiler]Antique Lantern[/spoiler] slightly stronger.\n
• Fixed a glitching shadow at the Caf.\n
• Made rain a little more likely in spring.\n

Known Issue:

\nSteam Cloud is still disabled, until we can figure out a way to test it safely. We are in contact with Steam Support! \n\n

Weekend:

\nWell be taking this weekend off, after having worked through the last one. So I hope youll understand that well try not to respond during this weekend.\n\nNext week is also the Gamescom, where we will have a booth in the Indie Arena! Well still try to find time to respond to your questions, and fix urgent bugs if there are any, but communications might be a bit slower next week, as our 5-person-team has to staff the booth, too.\n\n\n

The First Week:

\nThis last week has been a blur for us. We never imagined that this many people would pick up our game! We are simply blown-away and exceptionally thankful for your support and passion for the game, and the kindness and positivity you bring to every conversation we had with you. We are lucky to have made a game for such a wonderful community! \n\nAs always, here is the link to the previous patch notes: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2133760/discussions/0/601912361526467372/
